FCSB and its employees are committed
to making their communities better.
As a proud supporter of many local
non-profits, FCSB makes it their mission
to give back in any way that they
can. Through their Nonprofit Donation
Program, they are able to support nonprofits
focusing on youth, education, the
LGBT community, and family support
services throughout Queens and Long
Island.
In October 2017, FCSB donated a
total of $14,510 to 8 nonprofit organizations,
including Immigration Advocacy
Services Inc. of Queens, a Not-for-Profit
Immigration Outreach Center providing
constituents with all questions
regarding immigration, and the Long
Island Crisis Center, which provides
24/7, free, confidential and non-judgmental
programs and services for the
Long Island and Queens Community.
Other recipients included the Metro
Boys and Girls Club of Queens, Angels
on the Bay, and the Astoria – Long
Island City Kiwanis.
These nonprofits share FCSB’s mission
to improve the lives of the people in
the communities they serve. They work
hard to ensure they are always refining,
expanding and identifying community
needs, in order to provide the best, quality
services while continuing to grow their
financial resources.
“As a community bank with
long-standing ties to the neighborhoods
we serve, we feel it is our responsibility to
help community-based organizations in
their mission to provide support services
and advocacy assistance that empower
people,” said Michael Serao, Senior
Vice President and Director of Retail
Banking for FCSB. “We donated to local
community providers as a small thank
you for all the hard work and dedication
they put into improving the health and
lives of our community members, especially
the youth. Providing services is an
important part of building a strong and
healthy community and it is an honor
to be able to contribute to these organizations.”
FCSB’s philanthropy doesn’t stop with
their monetary donations. This past
September, FCSB donated a coin-counting
machine to the Boys & Girls Club of
Metro Queens to count collected coin
donations, providing a new source of
revenue to fund after-school programs.
Established in 1957, the Boys & Girls
Club of Metro Queens serves children
from all neighborhoods in New
York City. With the help of the new
coin-counting machine, the Boys & Girls
Club of Metro Queens can now people
to donate their coins to the campaign,
which will be collected and counted to
fund after-school programs for young
people.
“FCSB is always looking for ways to
support the communities that we serve,
